Overview
"Self-employed by day, dungeon explorer by night." This is the core premise of Owner Duk-Chun: Part-time Slayer, an indie RPG that blends the daily grind of running a business with the thrill of dungeon crawling. Players step into the shoes of Duk-Chun, an ordinary self-employed individual struggling to keep their store afloat. The business, unfortunately, was started with significant debt, leaving Duk-Chun with little capital for essential supplies. To make ends meet and procure necessary ingredients, Duk-Chun must venture into dangerous dungeons.
This demanding lifestyle has taken a toll, with Duk-Chun's hairline thinning in direct proportion to his sales figures. The game humorously highlights this struggle, urging players to protect Duk-Chun's rapidly disappearing hair.
With the recent completion of its English translation, the game is now more accessible to a global audience.
